What does “DaSy” stand for?

DaSy is short for data systems—specifically, the Center for IDEA Early Childhood Data Systems. IDEA is the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. There are two early childhood programs in IDEA: early intervention (Part C of IDEA), which is for children ages birth through 2 with delays and disabilities and their families, and preschool special education (Section 619 of Part B of IDEA), which is for children ages 3 through 5 with delays and disabilities. DaSy refers to the data systems for both these programs.
